Busted!

Very nice, looking forward to updates .

I used to ride with a guy called Richard Vickery, known as Tricky Dicky back in the day, he had one of these dripping in USE components and I borrowed it a few times. Lovely bike :)

Had these forks on it:

Looks like a nice fork, though the 990 is 1 1/8" steerer

Forkwise, it's a toss-up between function or form, so I am looking eithar at a (yellow) Judy double-crown fork which I already have, or a carbon Judy FSX.

With the naked carbon front triangle/yellow rear triangle on the 990, so I am leaning towards carbon Nukeproof hubs
These are in US, so customs makes 'em too expensive

and possibly yellow RaceFace cranks (missed these :facepalm: ), but still not sure if that'll be too much yellow...
